## Wopisanje

This plugin improves page load time and increases your Google PageSpeed Score. It
works with oEmbed and replaces embedded Youtube and Vimeo videos with a clickable
preview image.
 By loading videos only when the user clicks on the preview image,
no unnecessary JavaScript is loaded. Especially on sites with many embedded videos
this will make your visitors happy. Additionally, all Youtube videos are loaded 
in a privacy-enhanced mode using the „https://www.youtube-nocookie.com“ embed URL.

This plugin works for your existing YouTube and Vimeo blocks. No vendor lock-in 
and no custom shortcodes: Easily turn the plugin on and off anytime.

Developers can contribute [on Github](https://github.com/kevinweber/lazy-load-for-videos).

#### Some additional features:

 * Display video titles on preview images
 * Display privacy disclaimer on top of preview images (e.g. for GDPR compliance)
 * Pre-roll and post-roll advertisements: Convert all videos into a playlist and
   automatically add your corporate video, product teaser or another video advertisement
   to every video. (Great for branding and video ads!)
 * Hide annotations such as „subscribe to channel“ to avoid distractions
 * Add custom CSS via the plugin’s admin panel
 * Choose custom colour for your Vimeo player
 * Hide controls from Youtube player
 * Hide information like the video title and uploader when the video starts playing

 * Choose from several play button styles
 * Choose the traditional red or the alternative white progress bar for the Youtube
   video player
 * Don’t show related videos at the end of your videos
 * Works with WordPress Multisite and many plugins such as TablePress

#### Future features:

 * Set a custom preview image per video
 * Track how often the videos have been loaded with Google Analytics
 * … YOU want a new feature RIGHT NOW? Please implement it yourself and [contribute on Github](https://github.com/kevinweber/lazy-load-for-videos),

## Instalacija

Upload Lazy Load for Videos into you plugin directory (/wp-content/plugins/) and
activate the plugin through the ‚Plugins‘ menu in WordPress.

When you had already published videos before you have activated Lazy Load for Videos,
update all posts by clicking the „Update Posts“ button below the „Save Changes“ 
button.

You may have to clean the website’s and browser’s cache.

If you don’t see a preview image instead of the Youtube/Vimeo video, open the post
editor and update/save the post again or even update all posts using the above mentioned„
Update Posts“ button.

Optionally: Sign up to the Lazy Load for Videos newsletter to get notified about
major updates.

NOTICE – this is important to make your videos work as expected: Easily insert the
URL to your content (e.g. Youtube video) into a post or page. The URL must be on
its own line and must not be hyperlinked. „WordPress will automatically turn [the
URL] into a YouTube embed when the post is viewed.“ (Source: https://codex.wordpress.
org/Embeds) Inserting a Youtube iframe (instead of the plain URL) is deprecated 
and not supported by Lazy Load for Videos.

## HSP

Search for keywords using „STRG + F“ keyboard shortcut (Mac: „CMD + F“).

### Where can I see this plugin in use?

For example, on [www.kweber.com/lazy-load-videos/](https://www.kweber.com/lazy-load-videos/).

### Which video platforms are supported?

Videos from the biggest video platform, Youtube (https://youtube.com), and Vimeo(
https://vimeo.com) are supported.

### The plugin isn’t working with Jetpack…

„Jetpack“ by WordPress.com offers some useful extensions. Only one of them makes
Lazy Load for Videos break – the „Shortcode Embeds“ extension. So simply disable
the extension. (In order to see a „Deactivate“ button for „Shortcode Embeds“ on 
the Jetpack’s extension overview, you must click on „Learn More“.)

### Does the Lazy Load for Videos plugin work when there is more than one video on the same page?

Yes. The plugin works on single posts and pages as well as on archive pages with
several posts and videos.

### Should I use the Lazy Load for Videos plugin?

Yes!

### Why?

 * If you want to speed your site up, this plugin is for you. Especially on sites
   with many embedded videos this plugin is gold. There are manz reasons why you
   should make your site faster, see next question.
 * The plugin is really lightweight, has no dependencies and does neither blow your
   performance nor your database up.
 * By loading the videos only when the user clicks on the preview image, no unnecessary
   JavaScript is loaded. You may know this issue: (Defer) Parsing of JavaScript.„
   In order to load a page, the browser must parse the contents of all tags, which
   adds additional time to the page load. By minimizing the amount of JavaScript
   needed to render the page, and deferring parsing of unneeded JavaScript until
   it needs to be executed, you can reduce the initial load time of your page.“ (
   Source: https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/best-practices/mobile#DeferParsingJS)
 * Video preview and play button are scalable and optimized for mobile devices.
 * Finally, Lazy Load for Videos is really easy to use. Simply upload and activate
   the plugin.

### Why are a faster website and a higher Google PageSpeed Score great?

 * Search engines, especially Google, love speedy sites! So you will be higher ranked
   in search results.
 * Consequently, you get more visitors.
 * Fast sites lead to higher visitor engagement and returning visitors.
 * Faster sites increase conversions.
 * Potentially more $$ for your business!

### How can I calculate my Google PageSpeed Score?

PageSpeed Insights is a service by Google to help you optimize your site’s performance.
You can analyse your site using a browser extension or online, more information:
https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/

### How to embed videos in WordPress?

Easily insert the URL to your content (e.g. Youtube video) into a post or page. 
The URL must be on its own line and must not be hyperlinked. „WordPress will automatically
turn [the URL] into a YouTube embed when the post is viewed.“ (Source: https://codex.
wordpress.org/Embeds)
 Inserting a Youtube `<iframe>` (instead of the plain URL)
is deprecated and not supported by Lazy Load for Videos.

### How to disable lazy-loading of a single video?

Append `&lazyload=0` to the video URL.

### How to add support for custom post types?

UPDATE: Since plugin version 2.1.2, every custom post type is supported automatically.
So you can ignore the following instructions. They will be removed with one of the
next updates.

You can use a filter to add support for a custom post type (since version 2.0.4).

Replace ‚post_type_label‘ with the name/label of your custom post type.

    ```
    /**
     * Set post types that shall support Lazy Load for Videos
     */
    function lazyload_videos_set_post_types( $post_types ) {
        $post_types[] = 'post_type_label';
        return $post_types;
    }
    add_action( 'lazyload_videos_post_types', 'lazyload_videos_set_post_types' );
    ```

### How to use a custom play button?

For now, you can choose the „Youtube button image“ from the play button drop-down
list, then add the following custom CSS that includes a link to your custom CSS 
play button image:

    ```
    `
    ```

.preview-youtube .lazy-load-youtube-div, .lazy-load-vimeo-div {
 background-image:
url(INSERT-YOUR-URL-HERE…/images/play.png); } `

Feature versions might include an option to change the colour of your CSS-only buttons
using a colour picker and might also include an option to directly upload the desired
button image.

### How to lazy load playlists?

Similar to a single video, insert the playlist URL in the following format:
 https://
www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkfQFih23Ak&list=PLRQFBJ3mkjnxaPhAVOzjxxv_0yr8XE0Ja (the
other format – `https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=...` – is not supported currently).
Note that playlists are not working when you’re using the pre-/post-roll feature.

### How can I report security bugs?

You can report security bugs through the Patchstack Vulnerability Disclosure Program.
The Patchstack team help validate, triage and handle any security vulnerabilities.
[Report a security vulnerability.](https://patchstack.com/database/vdp/lazy-load-for-videos)

### Known bugs – this plugin may not work correctly when one of the following plugins is activated…

 * „YouTube“ (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/youtube-embed-plus/)
 * „Shortcode Embeds“ extension within Jetpack, see answer above (https://jetpack.
   me/support/shortcode-embeds/)
 * „BuddyPress“ (https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/)
 * Thumbnails from Vimeo videos in „Privacy Mode“ are not supported because Vimeo’s
   API doesn’t deliver thumbnails for those videos.
 * [???]

While working on a plugin to make YouTube embeds sticky, I hit a performance wall:
the more videos on a page, the heavier it got. So I tried Lazy Load for Videos, 
and it turned the standard block-editor embeds into lazy-loaded ones with zero extra
setup. The page got dramatically lighter. What I appreciated most is that videos
aren't materialized on scroll, but on click. It's common for a page to have 10 embedded
videos where visitors actually play only 2 or 3. Scroll-based lazy loading still
ends up loading everything eventually, but with click-based loading, only the videos
people actually want get loaded. That difference is noticeable. Pairing this with
my sticky plugin turned out to be the missing piece. Articles featuring multiple
video guides now feel clean and lightweight, carrying no extra weight until a reader
actually hits play. Understated, well thought-out, and hard to find a substitute
for.

Well, it's free, so that's worth an extra star all by itself, but it doesn't actually
do anything. My site is exactly the same as it was without it. I installed it, set
my settings, even changed the play button to "pulsing", hit the "update posts" button,
and load-blocking iframe youtube embeds still display as the same load-blocking 
iframe youtube embeds they've always been. I checked the support forums and there's
a huge notice on top that the plugin is unsupported, so, uh, there goes the extra
star it got for being free. A free plugin gets extra stars even if it doesn't work
perfectly, but a totally broken, totally unsupported plugin is 0 stars even if it's
free. I would have donated if it had worked, too.

На одном сайте этот плагин заработал как надо, а на другом, где видео вставлены 
через <iframe> работать не стал. Зато с этой задачей прекрасно справился плагин 
WP YouTube Lyte.

 [joyryde](https://profiles.wordpress.org/joyryde/) 24. awgusta 2023 4 replies

HI Kevin,We sell 10,000 products and we edit and crate products using the Woocommerce
CSV import/export.This plugin has added 5,000+ columns into the CSV file when it's
exported from Woocommerce…so it crashes the server and Google Sheets and Apple Numbers
are unable to open the CSV because the plugin created too many columns. How can 
we stop the plugin from creating so much data in the database? If we uninstall it,
will it delete all database data to solve this issue? We don't see any settings 
in it that "removes all data upon uninstall" like other plugins…and we don't know
how to stop it from overloading the database other than to remove it…

This plugin improved load times (especially for mobile in my case) on pages that
had YouTube videos. It also hasn’t interfered with load times on pages without videos.
Jetpack’s and WP Fastest Cache Premium’s lazy load functions INCREASED page loads
for some reason (I think they are delaying the loading of featured psot image on
one of my themes). Having the option to activate this function for videos only is
clutch and is all I needed for my site to perform well. No lunch or promo but a 
big thank-you to the author

I have videos with differing aspect ratios (4:3, 2.35:1, 9:16, 2:1, 1.85:1,…). Unfortunately,
the plugin always shows the thumbnail in an aspect ratio of 16:9. Is there a way
to make the plugin adapt to the aspect ratio of the video?

 * NOTE 2: If video titles aren’t showing as expected, click on the „Update Posts“
   button on the admin page for this plugin.
 * A11y: Make it easier for screen readers to select both video types, Youtube and
   Vimeo.
 * I18n: Make „Play video“ text translatable.
 * Fixed Vimeo title that didn’t show up if background pattern option was selected.
 * Reduced CSS and JS file sizes.

#### 2.4

 * New feature: Display a pattern instead of a thumbnail and thereby avoid requests
   to a video platform (until the user clicks play and requests become necessary).
 * Automated CSS prefixing. Some prefixes are no longer added. (Supported browsers
   are defined in .browserslistrc file.)
 * For developers: Update all dependencies and Webpack.

#### 2.3

 * New feature: Disable lazy-loading of a single video by appending `lazyload=0`
   to the video URL.
 * Solved AMP error: „The attribute ‚video-title‘ may not appear in tag ‚a‘.“. NOTE:
   The change will only affect new and updated posts. Click on „Update Posts“ in
   the admin panel to apply the change to all posts/pages.
 * Big refactoring: The plugin’s JavaScript and CSS is now organized in modules 
   and the output files are generated using Webpack. This refactoring makes contributions
   possible/easier and allows development using modern, future-proof JavaScript.

#### 2.2.3

 * Don’t show video link if preview image isn’t loaded yet.
 * Wait with displaying preview image until initial resize of video is done.
 * Fallback if visitor has no JavaScript: Display video title and URL.
 * Feature „Player color“ for Youtube videos is now deprecated because Youtube doesn’t
   support it for its HTML5 player.
 * Reduced play button image file sizes.

#### 2.2.2.2

 * Prevent other themes/plugins (such as BBPress) from displaying Youtube videos„
   inline“ because this causes videos not to be displayed.
 * Set the default margin-bottom for iframes/embeds to „0“.

#### 2.2.2.1

 * Now you can add a custom start time to each video URL. Use it like this: …url…/
   watch?v=VIDEO_ID&t=XhYmZs or …/watch?v=VIDEO_ID&t=Z (replace X/Y/Z with hours/
   minutes/seconds). Thanks to @R33D3M33R’s [PR](https://github.com/kevinweber/lazy-load-for-videos/pull/8).

   properly. Background-image was always overriden, even if user has set a custom
   one.

 * Added fallback by @summatix to load thumbnail with default quality when a high
   quality version is not available. Removed „Force maximum resolution“ option because
   the fallback makes this feature unnecessary.
 * Made plugin translatable.

#### 2.2.0.3

   sigginet)

   background-color: #000 !important; }
